If no one buys your used beat-up knife at a ridiculous BIN price, jack the price up even higher and relist it. LOL.

:jerkit:
 
I suggest it's Ebays new outrageous selling fee structure together with Paypal that makes even these morons put their selling price up after it doesnt sell.....currently Ebay and Paypal are working out at average 18.85% of selling price!..if it sells....if it dont you get re-list fees and so ad infinitum... <Ebay Listing fees & Final Value sale fees,+ Paypal fees averaging over 18% for up to $200 items but its all relative still the dearest auction house available..>..Hoo Roo

I honestly thought it was eBay's fault for making the relisting fees too low, thereby encouraging people to relist over and over without regard to the likelihood of selling.
But I admit to not knowing how the fee structure works.
 
Those with an Ebay store you have to watch closely..as they pay something like $19 a month to list for the proverbial 30 days <no-one else can they can only list for max 10 days> and I believe they can keep re-listing without cost and if you watch closely they are the biggest offenders...of the 6 month continually unsold listings because of their often outrageous asking prices, that we all see as there is no encouragement for them to meet the market <read the real world of current pricing and lack of ready/excess/ not needed for household budget funds of buyers>....everyone else pays through the nose to relist..but who wants to commit to $19 month/every month....I dont....Hoo Roo

My latest eBay lol was dealing with a new seller. He didn't believe eBay would let him accept any form of payment besides Paypal. I eduma-cated him and he asked eBay using my point-by-point description of the transaction. They gave the standard runaround answers but finally had to admit that a USPS money order was acceptable.
